      @GromFandango at the Arctic circle ,Correct... thats where she "walked" to after she was rescued... because it hurt too much to ride.

    Tough lads i tell ya, i live around and bike these parts myself and we the locals dont venture out in that, usually start of March before we venture out, may even be April, sub 12c temps can be pretty cold on a bike, those must be warm heated jackets and well waterproof, not many will come round our way and camp in winter, well done lads

    • @thecheshireadventurer8392
      @thecheshireadventurer8392 Před 5 měsíci

      No heated jacket for me!! Just a really good base and mid layer with the @Rev’it dirt series jacket 👌

    • @ALCHEMOTO
      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Put me big coat on 🤣. It was worse last year. Lucky with lack of snow.. just the wind. Supported by Gerbing did help though with heated gear. 👊. For me, kai relying on layers and decent gear. To be honest.. I love a challenge 👌

    Very entertaining travelogue. I just love the way you murder the placenames. :) The longest glen in Scotland is pronounced Glen "lion" and well worth riding all the way to the end.
    That's about a 20KT wind over the surface of the water, heaven knows what it was like higher up, funnelling down that glen.

    • @ALCHEMOTO
      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 5 měsíci

      🤣.. And Im a Murray 👊.. I usually give 2 renditions of placenames im not sure of pronouncing. And your the first to correct 👌😀. And now I know after being in the glen around 8 visits in. I have been to the end and over to killin via the byway. Beautiful road. Cheers 👍

    • @ALCHEMOTO
      @ALCHEMOTO  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Never too early to camp Sean.. just having right gear.. clearly our tents weren't though 🤣. Obviously the vid is cut so bits are missing between sections.
      Start at Hawick,cross martins bridge and follow to alemoor reservoir, carry on to buccleuch and end of road turn right, then 1st left toward st marys loch. Head toward innerleithen.
      Highland route. Aberfeldy/ fortinghall.. stop at 5000yr old yew tree for break. Into glen lyon, to post office..left at bridge of balgie. Ben lawers rd over mountain to loch tay and then killin.
      Reccomend stop overs killin hotel, or glengoulandie campsite. Thanks for watching 👊

    Great trip, but always have the bike on the side stand facing away from the tent. If it falls over, it falls away, not on top of you.
